FIG. ]A DISPLAYING A REPRESENTATION OF A CARD WITH A LAYERED STRUCTURE FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to techniques for displaying a representation of a card with a layered structure in a computer user interface.

BACKGROUND

[0002] A computer system can be used to access information related to a card, pass, or account. The information can then be used to provide goods or services to a user, such as gaining entry to a venue or completing a transaction. Typically, the information related to the card, pass, or account is associated with a user of the computer system.

[0002a] Reference to any prior art in the specification is not an acknowledgement or suggestion that this prior art forms part of the common general knowledge in any jurisdiction or that this prior art could reasonably be expected to be combined with any other piece of prior art by a skilled person in the art.

BRIEF SUMMARY

[0003] Some techniques for using cards, passes, or accounts using computer systems, however, are generally cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some existing techniques provide limited options for customizing the appearance of a representation of the card, pass, or account. In addition, some existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface to use the card, pass, or account, which may include multiple key presses or keystrokes. Existing techniques require more time than necessary, wasting user time and device energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices.

[0004] Accordingly, the present technique may provide computer systems with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for using a card, pass, or account with a representation of the card, pass, or account. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for using cards, passes, or accounts. Such methods and interfaces may reduce the cognitive burden on a user and may produce a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, such methods and interfaces may conserve power and may increase the time between battery charges.

[0004a] According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a method comprising: at a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component: displaying, via the display generation component, a user interface that includes a representation of a card, wherein the representation of the card comprises a plurality of layers that are concurrently displayed, including: a first layer with a first visual asset; and a second layer with a second visual asset; applying a first set of visual effects to the first visual asset without applying the first set of visual effects to the second visual asset; and applying a second set of visual effects, different from the first set of visual effects, to the second visual asset.

[0004b] According to a second aspect of the invention there is provided a computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component, the one or more programs including instructions for performing the method of the first aspect.

[0004c] According to a third aspect of the invention there is provided a computer system, comprising: a display generation component; and means for performing the method of the first aspect.

[0005] Example methods are disclosed herein. An example method includes, at a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component: displaying, via the display generation component, a user interface that includes a representation of a card, wherein the representation of the card comprises a plurality of layers that are concurrently displayed, including: a first layer with a first visual asset; and a second layer with a second visual asset; applying a first set of visual effects to the first visual asset without applying the first set of visual effects to the second visual asset; and applying a second set of visual effects, different from the first set of visual effects, to the second visual asset.

[0006] Example non-transitory computer-readable storage media are described herein. An example non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component, the one or more programs including instructions for: displaying, via the display generation component, a user interface that includes a representation of a card, wherein the representation of the card comprises a plurality of layers that are concurrently displayed, including: a first layer with a first visual asset; and a second layer with a second visual asset; applying a first set of visual effects to the first visual asset without applying the first set of visual effects to the second visual asset; and applying a second set of visual effects, different from the first set of visual effects, to the second visual asset.

[0007] Example transitory computer-readable storage media are described herein. An example non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component, the one or more programs including instructions for: displaying, via the display generation component, a user interface that includes a representation of a card, wherein the representation of the card comprises a plurality of layers that are concurrently displayed, including: a first layer with a first visual asset; and a second layer with a second visual asset; applying a first set of visual effects to the first visual asset without applying the first set of visual effects to the second visual asset; and applying a second set of visual effects, different from the first set of visual effects, to the second visual asset.

[0008] Example computer systems are described herein. An example computer system includes a display generation component; one or more processors; and memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for: displaying, via the display generation component, a user interface that includes a representation of a card, wherein the representation of the card comprises a plurality of layers that are concurrently displayed, including: a first layer with a first visual asset; and a second layer with a second visual asset; applying a first set of visual effects to the first visual asset without applying the first set of visual effects to the second visual asset; and applying a second set of visual effects, different from the first set of visual effects, to the second visual asset.

[0009] An example computer system includes: a display generation component; means for displaying, via the display generation component, a user interface that includes a representation of a card, wherein the representation of the card comprises a plurality of layers that are concurrently displayed, including: a first layer with a first visual asset; and a second layer with a second visual asset; means for applying a first set of visual effects to the first visual asset without applying the first set of visual effects to the second visual asset; and means for applying a second set of visual effects, different from the first set of visual effects, to the second visual asset.

[0010] Executable instructions for performing these functions are, optionally, included in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium or other computer program product configured for execution by one or more processors. Executable instructions for performing these functions are, optionally, included in a transitory computer-readable storage medium or other computer program product configured for execution by one or more processors.

[0011] Thus, computer systems are provided with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for using a card, pass, or account with a representation of the card, pass, or account, thereby increasing the effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction with such computer systems. Such methods and interfaces may complement or replace other methods for using a card, pass, or account.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0023] The following description sets forth exemplary methods, parameters, and the like. It should be recognized, however, that such description is not intended as a limitation on the scope of the present disclosure but is instead provided as a description of exemplary embodiments.

[0024] There is a need for electronic devices that provide efficient methods and interfaces for sharing and using cards, passes, or account. For example, when card information associated with the electronic device is to be used to complete a transaction, a representation of the card is displayed by the electronic device. There is a need for a user to easily and efficiently recognize that the representation of the card corresponds to the card selected for use in the transaction, and to verify that the representation of the card is authentic. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on a user who uses a card, pass, or account for a transaction, thereby enhancing productivity. Further, such techniques can reduce processor and battery power otherwise wasted on redundant user inputs.

[0025] Below, FIGS. 1A-1B, 2, 3, 4A-4B, and 5A-5B provide a description of exemplary devices for performing the techniques for managing event notifications. FIGS. 6A-61 illustrate exemplary techniques and user interfaces for displaying a representation of a card. FIG. 7 is a flow diagram illustrating methods of displaying a representation of a card in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in FIGS. 6A-61 are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIG. 7.

[0026] Although the following description uses terms "first," "second," etc. to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first touch could be termed a second touch, and, similarly, a second touch could be termed a first touch, without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments. The first touch and the second touch are both touches, but they are not the same touch.

[0027] The terminology used in the description of the various described embodiments herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of the various described embodiments and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and"the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms "includes," "including," "comprises," and/or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

[0028] The term "if' is, optionally, construed to mean "when" or "upon" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting," depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase "if it is determined" or "if [a stated condition or event] is detected" is, optionally, construed to mean

"upon determining" or "in response to determining" or "upon detecting [the stated condition or event]" or "in response to detecting [the stated condition or event]," depending on the context.

[0029] Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communications device, such as a mobile telephone, that also contains other functions, such as PDA and/or music player functions. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, without limitation, the iPhone@, iPod Touch, and iPad@ devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California. Other portable electronic devices, such as laptops or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and/or touchpads), are, optionally, used. It should also be understood that, in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communications device, but is a desktop computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch screen display and/or a touchpad). In some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer system that is in communication (e.g., via wireless communication, via wired communication) with a display generation component. The display generation component is configured to provide visual output, such as display via a CRT display, display via an LED display, or display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generation component is integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the display generation component is separate from the computer system. As used herein, "displaying" content includes causing to display the content (e.g., video data rendered or decoded by display controller 156) by transmitting, via a wired or wireless connection, data (e.g., image data or video data) to an integrated or external display generation component to visually produce the content.

[0030] In the discussion that follows, an electronic device that includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. It should be understood, however, that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, a mouse, and/or a joystick.

[0031] The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a workout support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and/or a digital video player application.

[0032] The various applications that are executed on the device optionally use at least one common physical user-interface device, such as the touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface as well as corresponding information displayed on the device are, optionally, adjusted and/or varied from one application to the next and/or within a respective application. In this way, a common physical architecture (such as the touch-sensitive surface) of the device optionally supports the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user.

[0033] Attention is now directed toward embodiments of portable devices with touch sensitive displays. FIG. 1A is a block diagram illustrating portable multifunction device 100 with touch-sensitive display system 112 in accordance with some embodiments. Touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes called a "touch screen" for convenience and is sometimes known as or called a "touch-sensitive display system." Device 100 includes memory 102 (which optionally includes one or more computer-readable storage mediums), memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPUs) 120, peripherals interface 118, RF circuitry 108, audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, microphone 113, input/output (I/O) subsystem 106, other input control devices 116, and external port 124. Device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. Device 100 optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on device 100 (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100). Device 100 optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs on device 100 (e.g., generating tactile outputs on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touchpad 355 of device 300). These components optionally communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.

[0034] As used in the specification and claims, the term "intensity" of a contact on a touch sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of a contact as an attribute of a user input allows for user access to additional device functionality that may otherwise not be accessible by the user on a reduced-size device with limited real estate for displaying affordances (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, a touch sensitive surface, or a physical/mechanical control such as a knob or a button).

[0035] As used in the specification and claims, the term "tactile output" refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user's sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of a user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a "down click" or "up click" of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an "down click" or "up click" even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movements. As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as "roughness" of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an "up click," a "down click," "roughness"), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.

[0036] It should be appreciated that device 100 is only one example of a portable multifunction device, and that device 100 optionally has more or fewer components than shown, optionally combines two or more components, or optionally has a different configuration or arrangement of the components. The various components shown in FIG. 1A are implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both hardware and software, including one or more signal processing and/or application-specific integrated circuits.

[0037] Memory 102 optionally includes high-speed random access memory and optionally also includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. Memory controller 122 optionally controls access to memory 102 by other components of device 100.

[0038] Peripherals interface 118 can be used to couple input and output peripherals of the device to CPU 120 and memory 102. The one or more processors 120 run or execute various software programs and/or sets of instructions stored in memory 102 to perform various functions for device 100 and to process data. In some embodiments, peripherals interface 118, CPU 120, and memory controller 122 are, optionally, implemented on a single chip, such as chip 104. In some other embodiments, they are, optionally, implemented on separate chips.

[0039] RF (radio frequency) circuitry 108 receives and sends RF signals, also called electromagnetic signals. RF circuitry 108 converts electrical signals to/from electromagnetic signals and communicates with communications networks and other communications devices via the electromagnetic signals. RF circuitry 108 optionally includes well-known circuitry for performing these functions, including but not limited to an antenna system, an RF transceiver, one or more amplifiers, a tuner, one or more oscillators, a digital signal processor, a CODEC chipset, a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, memory, and so forth. RF circuitry 108 optionally communicates with networks, such as the Internet, also referred to as the World Wide Web (WWW), an intranet and/or a wireless network, such as a cellular telephone network, a wireless local area network (LAN) and/or a metropolitan area network (MAN), and other devices by wireless communication. The RF circuitry 108 optionally includes well-known circuitry for detecting near field communication (NFC) fields, such as by a short-range communication radio. The wireless communication optionally uses any of a plurality of communications standards, protocols, and technologies, including but not limited to Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE), high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA), Evolution, Data-Only (EV DO), HSPA, HSPA+, Dual-Cell HSPA (DC-HSPDA), long term evolution (LTE), near field communication (NFC), wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA), code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) (e.g., IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.1lb, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.1In, and/or IEEE 802.11ac), voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Wi-MAX, a protocol for e-mail (e.g., Internet message access protocol (IMAP) and/or post office protocol (POP)), instant messaging (e.g., extensible messaging and presence protocol (XMPP), Session Initiation Protocol for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE), Instant Messaging and Presence Service (IMPS)), and/or Short Message Service (SMS), or any other suitable communication protocol, including communication protocols not yet developed as of the filing date of this document.

[0040] Audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, and microphone 113 provide an audio interface between a user and device 100. Audio circuitry 110 receives audio data from peripherals interface 118, converts the audio data to an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to speaker 111. Speaker 111 converts the electrical signal to human-audible sound waves. Audio circuitry 110 also receives electrical signals converted by microphone 113 from sound waves. Audio circuitry 110 converts the electrical signal to audio data and transmits the audio data to peripherals interface 118 for processing. Audio data is, optionally, retrieved from and/or transmitted to memory 102 and/or RF circuitry 108 by peripherals interface 118. In some embodiments, audio circuitry 110 also includes a headset jack (e.g., 212, FIG. 2). The headset jack provides an interface between audio circuitry 110 and removable audio input/output peripherals, such as output-only headphones or a headset with both output (e.g., a headphone for one or both ears) and input (e.g., a microphone).

[0041] I/O subsystem 106 couples input/output peripherals on device 100, such as touch screen 112 and other input control devices 116, to peripherals interface 118. I/O subsystem 106 optionally includes display controller 156, optical sensor controller 158, depth camera controller 169, intensity sensor controller 159, haptic feedback controller 161, and one or more input controllers 160 for other input or control devices. The one or more input controllers 160 receive/send electrical signals from/to other input control devices 116. The other input control devices 116 optionally include physical buttons (e.g., push buttons, rocker buttons, etc.), dials, slider switches, joysticks, click wheels, and so forth. In some embodiments, input controller(s) 160 are, optionally, coupled to any (or none) of the following: a keyboard, an infrared port, a USB port, and a pointer device such as a mouse. The one or more buttons (e.g., 208, FIG. 2) optionally include an up/down button for volume control of speaker 111 and/or microphone 113. The one or more buttons optionally include a push button (e.g., 206, FIG. 2). In some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer system that is in communication (e.g., via wireless communication, via wired communication) with one or more input devices. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices include a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a trackpad, as part of a touch-sensitive display). In some embodiments, the one or more input devices include one or more camera sensors (e.g., one or more optical sensors 164 and/or one or more depth camera sensors 175), such as for tracking a user's gestures (e.g., hand gestures) as input. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices are integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices are separate from the computer system.

[0042] A quick press of the push button optionally disengages a lock of touch screen 112 or optionally begins a process that uses gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device, as described in U.S. Patent Application 11/322,549, "Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image," filed December 23, 2005, U.S. Pat. No. 7,657,849, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A longer press of the push button (e.g., 206) optionally turns power to device 100 on or off. The functionality of one or more of the buttons are, optionally, user-customizable. Touch screen 112 is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.

[0043] Touch-sensitive display 112 provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and a user. Display controller 156 receives and/or sends electrical signals from/to touch screen 112. Touch screen 112 displays visual output to the user. The visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively termed "graphics"). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output optionally corresponds to user-interface objects.

[0044] Touch screen 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor, or set of sensors that accepts input from the user based on haptic and/or tactile contact. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 (along with any associated modules and/or sets of instructions in memory 102) detect contact (and any movement or breaking of the contact) on touch screen 112 and convert the detected contact into interaction with user-interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) that are displayed on touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, a point of contact between touch screen 112 and the user corresponds to a finger of the user.

[0045] Touch screen 112 optionally uses LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies are used in other embodiments. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 optionally detect contact and any movement or breaking thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as that found in the iPhone@ and iPod Touch@ from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California.

[0046] A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is, optionally, analogous to the multi-touch sensitive touchpads described in the following U.S. Patents: 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and/or 6,677,932 (Westerman), and/or U.S. Patent Publication 2002/0015024A1, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, touch screen 112 displays visual output from device 100, whereas touch-sensitive touchpads do not provide visual output.

[0047] A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is described in the following applications: (1) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/381,313, "Multipoint Touch Surface Controller," filed May 2, 2006; (2) U.S. Patent Application No. 10/840,862, "Multipoint Touchscreen," filed May 6, 2004; (3) U.S. Patent Application No. 10/903,964, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed July 30, 2004; (4) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/048,264, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed January 31, 2005; (5) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/038,590, "Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed January 18, 2005; (6) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/228,758, "Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface," filed September 16, 2005; (7) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/228,700, "Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface," filed September 16, 2005; (8) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/228,737, "Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard," filed September 16, 2005; and (9) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/367,749, "Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device," filed March 3, 2006. All of these applications are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.

[0048] Touch screen 112 optionally has a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of approximately 160 dpi. The user optionally makes contact with touch screen 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which can be less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user.

[0049] In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, device 100 optionally includes a touchpad for activating or deactivating particular functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output. The touchpad is, optionally, a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from touch screen 112 or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.

[0050] Device 100 also includes power system 162 for powering the various components.

Optical sensor 164 receives light from the environment, projected through one or more lenses, and converts the light to data representing an image. In conjunction with imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), optical sensor 164 optionally captures still images or video. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112 on the front of the device so that the touch screen display is enabled for use as a viewfinder for still and/or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that the user's image is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the position of optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing) so that a single optical sensor 164 is used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition.

[0052] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more depth camera sensors 175. FIG. 1A shows a depth camera sensor coupled to depth camera controller 169 inI/O subsystem 106. Depth camera sensor 175 receives data from the environment to create a three dimensional model of an object (e.g., a face) within a scene from a viewpoint (e.g., a depth camera sensor). In some embodiments, in conjunction with imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), depth camera sensor 175 is optionally used to determine a depth map of different portions of an image captured by the imaging module 143. In some embodiments, a depth camera sensor is located on the front of device 100 so that the user's image with depth information is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display and to capture selfies with depth map data. In some embodiments, the depth camera sensor 175 is located on the back of device, or on the back and the front of the device 100. In some embodiments, the position of depth camera sensor 175 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing) so that a depth camera sensor 175 is used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition.

[0053] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165. FIG. 1A shows a contact intensity sensor coupled to intensity sensor controller 159 in I/O subsystem 106. Contact intensity sensor 165 optionally includes one or more piezoresistive strain gauges, capacitive force sensors, electric force sensors, piezoelectric force sensors, optical force sensors, capacitive touch-sensitive surfaces, or other intensity sensors (e.g., sensors used to measure the force (or pressure) of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface). Contact intensity sensor 165 receives contact intensity information (e.g., pressure information or a proxy for pressure information) from the environment. In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112). In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112, which is located on the front of device 100.

[0054] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors 166. FIG. 1A shows proximity sensor 166 coupled to peripherals interface 118. Alternately, proximity sensor 166 is, optionally, coupled to input controller 160 in I/O subsystem 106. Proximity sensor 166 optionally performs as described in U.S. Patent Application Nos. 11/241,839, "Proximity

Detector In Handheld Device"; 11/240,788, "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device"; 11/620,702, "Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output"; 11/586,862, "Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices"; and 11/638,251, "Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals," which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, the proximity sensor turns off and disables touch screen 112 when the multifunction device is placed near the user's ear (e.g., when the user is making a phone call).

[0055] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators 167. FIG. 1A shows a tactile output generator coupled to haptic feedback controller 161 inI/O subsystem 106. Tactile output generator 167 optionally includes one or more electroacoustic devices such as speakers or other audio components and/or electromechanical devices that convert energy into linear motion such as a motor, solenoid, electroactive polymer, piezoelectric actuator, electrostatic actuator, or other tactile output generating component (e.g., a component that converts electrical signals into tactile outputs on the device). Contact intensity sensor 165 receives tactile feedback generation instructions from haptic feedback module 133 and generates tactile outputs on device 100 that are capable of being sensed by a user of device 100. In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112) and, optionally, generates a tactile output by moving the touch-sensitive surface vertically (e.g., in/out of a surface of device 100) or laterally (e.g., back and forth in the same plane as a surface of device 100). In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112, which is located on the front of device 100.

[0056] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more accelerometers 168. FIG. 1A shows accelerometer 168 coupled to peripherals interface 118.

In some embodiments, information is displayed on the touch screen display in a portrait view or a landscape view based on an analysis of data received from the one or more accelerometers. Device 100 optionally includes, in addition to accelerometer(s) 168, a magnetometer and a GPS (or GLONASS or other global navigation system) receiver for obtaining information concerning the location and orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape) of device 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 102 include operating system 126, communication module (or set of instructions) 128, contact/motion module (or set of instructions) 130, graphics module (or set of instructions) 132, text input module (or set of instructions) 134, Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or set of instructions) 135, and applications (or sets of instructions) 136. Furthermore, in some embodiments, memory 102 (FIG. 1A) or 370 (FIG. 3) stores device/global internal state 157, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 3. Device/global internal state 157 includes one or more of: active application state, indicating which applications, if any, are currently active; display state, indicating what applications, views or other information occupy various regions of touch screen display 112; sensor state, including information obtained from the device's various sensors and input control devices 116; and location information concerning the device's location and/or attitude.

[0058] Operating system 126 (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, iOS, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between various hardware and software components.

[0059] Communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports 124 and also includes various software components for handling data received by RF circuitry 108 and/or external port 124. External port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling directly to other devices or indirectly over a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with, the -pin connector used on iPod@ (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices.

[0060] Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects contact with touch screen 112 (in conjunction with display controller 156) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). Contact/motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining an intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events), and determining if the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a finger-up event or a break in contact). Contact/motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining movement of the point of contact, which is represented by a series of contact data, optionally includes determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., "multitouch"/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 and

display controller 156 detect contact on a touchpad.

[0061] In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has "clicked" on an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device 100). For example, a mouse "click" threshold of a trackpad or touch screen display can be set to any of a large range of predefined threshold values without changing the trackpad or touch screen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations, a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality of intensity thresholds at once with a system-level click "intensity" parameter).

[0062] Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects a gesture input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and/or intensities of detected contacts). Thus, a gesture is, optionally, detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting one or morefinger-dragging events, and subsequently followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event.

[0063] Graphics module 132 includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on touch screen 112 or other display, including components for changing the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast, or other visual property) of graphics that are displayed. As used herein, the term "graphics" includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including, without limitation, text, web pages, icons (such as user-interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations, and the like.

[0064] In some embodiments, graphics module 132 stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is, optionally, assigned a corresponding code. Graphics module 132 receives, from applications etc., one or more codes specifying graphics to be displayed along with, if necessary, coordinate data and other graphic property data, and then generates screen image data to output to display controller 156.

[0065] Haptic feedback module 133 includes various software components for generating instructions used by tactile output generator(s) 167 to produce tactile outputs at one or more locations on device 100 in response to user interactions with device 100.

[0066] Text input module 134, which is, optionally, a component of graphics module 132, provides soft keyboards for entering text in various applications (e.g., contacts 137, e-mail 140, IM 141, browser 147, and any other application that needs text input).

[0067] GPS module 135 determines the location of the device and provides this information for use in various applications (e.g., to telephone 138 for use in location-based dialing; to camera 143 as picture/video metadata; and to applications that provide location-based services such as weather widgets, local yellow page widgets, and map/navigation widgets).

[0088] In some embodiments, device 100 is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of device 100, the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons, dials, and the like) on device 100 is, optionally, reduced.

[0089] The predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad optionally include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates device 100 to a main, home, or root menu from any user interface that is displayed on device 100. In such embodiments, a "menu button" is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad.

[0090] FIG. 1B is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event handling in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 (FIG. 1A) or 370 (FIG. 3) includes event sorter 170 (e.g., in operating system 126) and a respective application 136-1 (e.g., any of the aforementioned applications 137-151, 155, 380-390).

[0091] Event sorter 170 receives event information and determines the application 136-1 and application view 191 of application 136-1 to which to deliver the event information. Event sorter 170 includes event monitor 171 and event dispatcher module 174. In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes application internal state 192, which indicates the current application view(s) displayed on touch-sensitive display 112 when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device/global internal state 157 is used by event sorter 170 to determine which application(s) is (are) currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 to determine application views 191 to which to deliver event information.

[0092] In some embodiments, application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application 136-1, a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application 136-1, and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.

[0093] Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118. Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display 112, as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor, such as proximity sensor 166, accelerometer(s) 168, and/or microphone 113 (through audio circuitry 110). Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.

[0094] In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).

[0095] In some embodiments, event sorter 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and/or an active event recognizer determination module 173.

[0096] Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views when touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.

[0097] Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is, optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.

[0098] Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (e.g., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module 172, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view.

[0099] Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views.

[0100] Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module 173, event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, event dispatcher module 174 stores in an event queue the event information, which is retrieved by a respective event receiver 182.

[0101] In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event sorter 170. Alternatively, application 136-1 includes event sorter 170. In yet other embodiments, event sorter 170 is a stand-alone module, or a part of another module stored in memory 102, such as contact/motion module 130.

[0102] In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes a plurality of event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the application's user interface. Each application view 191 of the application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, a respective application view 191 includes a plurality of event recognizers 180. In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit or a higher level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, a respective event handler 190 includes one or more of: data updater 176, object updater 177, GUI updater 178, and/or event data 179 received from event sorter 170. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176, object updater 177, or GUI updater 178 to update the application internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 include one or more respective event handlers 190. Also, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a respective application view 191.

[0103] A respective event recognizer 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from event sorter 170 and identifies an event from the event information. Event recognizer 180 includes event receiver 182 and event comparator 184. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 also includes at least a subset of: metadata 183, and event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions).

[0104] Event receiver 182 receives event information from event sorter 170. The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as location of the sub-event. When the sub-event concerns motion of a touch, the event information optionally also includes speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (e.g., from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation (also called device attitude) of the device.

[0105] Event comparator 184 compares the event information to predefined event or sub event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines an event or sub-event, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186. Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in an event (187) include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching. In one example, the definition for event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap, for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event 2 (187-2) is a dragging on a displayed object. The dragging, for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch-sensitive display 112, and liftoff of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.

[0106] In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the sub event and the object triggering the hit test.

[0107] In some embodiments, the definition for a respective event (187) also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer's event type.

[0108] When a respective event recognizer 180 determines that the series of sub-events do not match any of the events in event definitions 186, the respective event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of an ongoing touch-based gesture.

[0109] In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 includes metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varying levels in the view or programmatic hierarchy.

[0110] In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 activates event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized. In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to event handler 190. Activating an event handler 190 is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.

[0111] In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process.

[0112] In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates the telephone number used in contacts module 137, or stores a video file used in video player module. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136-1. For example, object updater 177 creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object. GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module 132 for display on a touch-sensitive display.

[0113] In some embodiments, event handler(s) 190 includes or has access to data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178. In some embodiments, data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of a respective application

136-1 or application view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.

[0114] It shall be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices 100 with input devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movements such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc. on touchpads; pen stylus inputs; movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements; biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events which define an event to be recognized.

[0115] FIG. 2 illustrates a portable multifunction device 100 having a touch screen 112 in accordance with some embodiments. The touch screen optionally displays one or more graphics within user interface (UI) 200. In this embodiment, as well as others described below, a user is enabled to select one or more of the graphics by making a gesture on the graphics, for example, with one or more fingers 202 (not drawn to scale in the figure) or one or more styluses 203 (not drawn to scale in the figure). In some embodiments, selection of one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with the one or more graphics. In some embodiments, the gesture optionally includes one or more taps, one or more swipes (from left to right, right to left, upward and/or downward), and/or a rolling of a finger (from right to left, left to right, upward and/or downward) that has made contact with device 100. In some implementations or circumstances, inadvertent contact with a graphic does not select the graphic. For example, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application when the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap.

[0116] Device 100 optionally also include one or more physical buttons, such as "home" or menu button 204. As described previously, menu button 204 is, optionally, used to navigate to any application 136 in a set of applications that are, optionally, executed on device 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on touch screen 112.

[0117] In some embodiments, device 100 includes touch screen 112, menu button 204, push button 206 for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment button(s) 208, subscriber identity module (SIM) card slot 210, headsetjack 212, and docking/charging external port 124. Push button 206 is, optionally, used to turn the power on/off on the device by depressing the button and holding the button in the depressed state for a predefined time interval; to lock the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and/or to unlock the device or initiate an unlock process. In an alternative embodiment, device 100 also accepts verbal input for activation or deactivation of some functions through microphone 113. Device 100 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on touch screen 112 and/or one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 100.

[0118] FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface in accordance with some embodiments. Device 300 need not be portable. In some embodiments, device 300 is a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a multimedia player device, a navigation device, an educational device (such as a child's learning toy), a gaming system, or a control device (e.g., a home or industrial controller). Device 300 typically includes one or more processing units (CPUs) 310, one or more network or other communications interfaces 360, memory 370, and one or more communication buses 320 for interconnecting these components. Communication buses 320 optionally include circuitry (sometimes called a chipset) that interconnects and controls communications between system components. Device 300 includes input/output (I/O) interface 330 comprising display 340, which is typically a touch screen display. I/O interface 330 also optionally includes a keyboard and/or mouse (or other pointing device) 350 and touchpad 355, tactile output generator 357 for generating tactile outputs on device 300 (e.g., similar to tactile output generator(s) 167 described above with reference to FIG. 1A), sensors 359 (e.g., optical, acceleration, proximity, touch sensitive, and/or contact intensity sensors similar to contact intensity sensor(s) 165 described above with reference to FIG. 1A). Memory 370 includes high-speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM, or other random access solid state memory devices; and optionally includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid state storage devices. Memory 370 optionally includes one or more storage devices remotely located from

CPU(s) 310. In some embodiments, memory 370 stores programs, modules, and data structures analogous to the programs, modules, and data structures stored in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (FIG. 1A), or a subset thereof. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional programs, modules, and data structures not present in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100. For example, memory 370 of device 300 optionally stores drawing module 380, presentation module 382, word processing module 384, website creation module 386, disk authoring module 388, and/or spreadsheet module 390, while memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (FIG. 1A) optionally does not store these modules.

[0119] Each of the above-identified elements in FIG. 3 is, optionally, stored in one or more of the previously mentioned memory devices. Each of the above-identified modules corresponds to a set of instructions for performing a function described above. The above-identified modules or programs (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 370 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

[0120] Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces that are, optionally, implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device 100.

[0121] FIG. 4A illustrates an exemplary user interface for a menu of applications on portable multifunction device 100 in accordance with some embodiments. Similar user interfaces are, optionally, implemented on device 300. In some embodiments, user interface 400 includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof:

• Signal strength indicator(s) 402 for wireless communication(s), such as cellular and Wi Fi signals;

• Time 404;

• Bluetooth indicator 405;

• Battery status indicator 406;

• Tray 408 with icons for frequently used applications, such as:

o Icon 416 for telephone module 138, labeled "Phone," which optionally includes an indicator 414 of the number of missed calls or voicemail messages;

o Icon 418 for e-mail client module 140, labeled "Mail," which optionally includes an indicator 410 of the number of unread e-mails;

o Icon 420 for browser module 147, labeled "Browser;" and

o Icon 422 for video and music player module 152, also referred to as iPod (trademark of Apple Inc.) module 152, labeled "iPod;" and

• Icons for other applications, such as:

o Icon 424 for IM module 141, labeled "Messages;"

o Icon 426 for calendar module 148, labeled "Calendar;"

o Icon 428 for image management module 144, labeled "Photos;"

o Icon 430 for camera module 143, labeled "Camera;"

o Icon 432 for online video module 155, labeled "Online Video;"

o Icon 434 for stocks widget 149-2, labeled "Stocks;"

o Icon 436 for map module 154, labeled "Maps;"

o Icon 438 for weather widget 149-1, labeled "Weather;"

o Icon 440 for alarm clock widget 149-4, labeled "Clock;"

o Icon 442 for workout support module 142, labeled "Workout Support;"

o Icon 444 for notes module 153, labeled "Notes;" and

o Icon 446 for a settings application or module, labeled "Settings," which provides access to settings for device 100 and its various applications 136.

[0122] It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in FIG. 4A are merely exemplary. For example, icon 422 for video and music player module 152 is labeled "Music" or "Music Player." Other labels are, optionally, used for various application icons. In some embodiments, a label for a respective application icon includes a name of an application corresponding to the respective application icon. In some embodiments, a label for a particular application icon is distinct from a name of an application corresponding to the particular application icon.

[0123] FIG. 4B illustrates an exemplary user interface on a device (e.g., device 300, FIG. 3) with a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., a tablet or touchpad 355, FIG. 3) that is separate from the display 450 (e.g., touch screen display 112). Device 300 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of sensors 359) for detecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 451 and/or one or more tactile output generators 357 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 300.

[0124] Although some of the examples that follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (where the touch-sensitive surface and the display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in FIG. 4B. In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 4B) has a primary axis (e.g., 452 in FIG. 4B) that corresponds to a primary axis (e.g., 453 in FIG. 4B) on the display (e.g., 450). In accordance with these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g., 460 and 462 in FIG. 4B) with the touch-sensitive surface 451 at locations that correspond to respective locations on the display (e.g., in FIG. 4B, 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470). In this way, user inputs (e.g., contacts 460 and 462, and movements thereof) detected by the device on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 4B) are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 4B) of the multifunction device when the touch-sensitive surface is separate from the display. It should be understood that similar methods are, optionally, used for other user interfaces described herein.

[0125] Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that, in some embodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., a mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click (e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click while the cursor is located over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detection of the contact followed by ceasing to detect the contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are simultaneously detected, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are, optionally, used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are, optionally, used simultaneously.

[0126] FIG. 5A illustrates exemplary personal electronic device 500. Device 500 includes body 502. In some embodiments, device 500 can include some or all of the features described with respect to devices 100 and 300 (e.g., FIGS. 1A-4B). In some embodiments, device 500 has touch-sensitive display screen 504, hereafter touch screen 504. Alternatively, or in addition to touch screen 504, device 500 has a display and a touch-sensitive surface. As with devices 100 and 300, in some embodiments, touch screen 504 (or the touch-sensitive surface) optionally includes one or more intensity sensors for detecting intensity of contacts (e.g., touches) being applied. The one or more intensity sensors of touch screen 504 (or the touch-sensitive surface) can provide output data that represents the intensity of touches. The user interface of device 500 can respond to touches based on their intensity, meaning that touches of different intensities can invoke different user interface operations on device 500.

[0127] Exemplary techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity are found, for example, in related applications: International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/040061, titled "Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application," filed May 8, 2013, published as WIPO Publication No. WO/2013/169849, and International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/069483, titled "Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display Output Relationships," filed November 11, 2013, published as WIPO Publication No. WO/2014/105276, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0128] In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more input mechanisms 506 and 508. Input mechanisms 506 and 508, if included, can be physical. Examples of physical input mechanisms include push buttons and rotatable mechanisms. In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms, if included, can permit attachment of device 500 with, for example, hats, eyewear, earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watch straps, chains, trousers, belts, shoes, purses, backpacks, and so forth. These attachment mechanisms permit device 500 to be worn by a user.

[0129] FIG. 5B depicts exemplary personal electronic device 500. In some embodiments, device 500 can include some or all of the components described with respect to FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 3. Device 500 has bus 512 that operatively couples I/O section 514 with one or more computer processors 516 and memory 518. I/O section 514 can be connected to display 504, which can have touch-sensitive component 522 and, optionally, intensity sensor 524 (e.g., contact intensity sensor). In addition, I/O section 514 can be connected with communication unit 530 for receiving application and operating system data, using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular, and/or other wireless communication techniques. Device 500 can include input mechanisms 506 and/or 508. Input mechanism 506 is, optionally, a rotatable input device or a depressible and rotatable input device, for example. Input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a button, in some examples.

[0130] Input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a microphone, in some examples. Personal electronic device 500 optionally includes various sensors, such as GPS sensor 532, accelerometer 534, directional sensor 540 (e.g., compass), gyroscope 536, motion sensor 538, and/or a combination thereof, all of which can be operatively connected to I/O section 514.

[0131] Memory 518 of personal electronic device 500 can include one or more non transitory computer-readable storage mediums, for storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by one or more computer processors 516, for example, can cause the computer processors to perform the techniques described below, including process 700 (FIG. 7). A computer-readable storage medium can be any medium that can tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. In some examples, the storage medium is a transitory computer readable storage medium. In some examples, the storage medium is a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium can include, but is not limited to, magnetic, optical, and/or semiconductor storages. Examples of such storage include magnetic disks, optical discs based on CD, DVD, or Blu-ray technologies, as well as persistent solid-state memory such as flash, solid-state drives, and the like. Personal electronic device 500 is not limited to the components and configuration of FIG. 5B, but can include other or additional components in multiple configurations.

[0132] As used here, the term "affordance" refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object that is, optionally, displayed on the display screen of devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIGS. 1A, 3, and 5A-5B). For example, an image (e.g., icon), a button, and text (e.g., hyperlink) each optionally constitute an affordance.

[0133] As used herein, the term "focus selector" refers to an input element that indicates a current part of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a "focus selector" so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad 355 in FIG. 3 or touch-sensitive surface 451 in FIG. 4B) while the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations that include a touch screen display (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112 in FIG. 1A or touch screen 112 in FIG. 4A) that enables direct interaction with user interface elements on the touch screen display, a detected contact on the touch screen acts as a "focus selector" so that when an input (e.g., a press input by the contact) is detected on the touch screen display at a location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations, focus is moved from one region of a user interface to another region of the user interface without corresponding movement of a cursor or movement of a contact on a touch screen display (e.g., by using a tab key or arrow keys to move focus from one button to another button); in these implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance with movement of focus between different regions of the user interface. Without regard to the specific form taken by the focus selector, the focus selector is generally the user interface element (or contact on a touch screen display) that is controlled by the user so as to communicate the user's intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating, to the device, the element of the user interface with which the user is intending to interact). For example, the location of a focus selector (e.g., a cursor, a contact, or a selection box) over a respective button while a press input is detected on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touch screen) will indicate that the user is intending to activate the respective button (as opposed to other user interface elements shown on a display of the device).

[0134] As used in the specification and claims, the term "characteristic intensity" of a contact refers to a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined number of intensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, , 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting the contact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting a start of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionally, based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds optionally includes a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic intensity and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective operation or forgo performing the respective operation), rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation.

[0135] In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity. For example, a touch-sensitive surface optionally receives a continuous swipe contact transitioning from a start location and reaching an end location, at which point the intensity of the contact increases. In this example, the characteristic intensity of the contact at the end location is, optionally, based on only a portion of the continuous swipe contact, and not the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of the swipe contact at the end location). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm is, optionally, applied to the intensities of the swipe contact prior to determining the characteristic intensity of the contact. For example, the smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of: an unweighted sliding-average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some circumstances, these smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow spikes or dips in the intensities of the swipe contact for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity.

[0136] The intensity of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, characterized relative to one or more intensity thresholds, such as a contact-detection intensity threshold, a light press intensity threshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and/or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations that are different from operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, when a contact is detected with a characteristic intensity below the light press intensity threshold (e.g., and above a nominal contact-detection intensity threshold below which the contact is no longer detected), the device will move a focus selector in accordance with movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing an operation associated with the light press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. Generally, unless otherwise stated, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different sets of user interface figures.

[0137] An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the light press intensity threshold to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold and the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a "light press" input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the deep press intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a "deep press" input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the contact detection intensity threshold to an intensity between the contact-detection intensity threshold and the light press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting the contact on the touch surface. A decrease of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity above the contact detection intensity threshold to an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting liftoff of the contact from the touch-surface. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is zero. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is greater than zero.

[0138] In some embodiments described herein, one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a respective press input or in response to detecting the respective press input performed with a respective contact (or a plurality of contacts), where the respective press input is detected based at least in part on detecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or plurality of contacts) above a press-input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., a "down stroke" of the respective press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the press-input threshold (e.g., an "up stroke" of the respective press input).

[0139] In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs sometimes termed "jitter," where the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold with a predefined relationship to the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or some reasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold). Thus, in some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to the press input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., an "up stroke" of the respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press input is detected only when the device detects an increase in intensity of the contact from an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity at or above the press-input intensity threshold and, optionally, a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact to an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., the increase in intensity of the contact or the decrease in intensity of the contact, depending on the circumstances).

[0140] For ease of explanation, the descriptions of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press-input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including the press input are, optionally, triggered in response to detecting either: an increase in intensity of a contact above the press-input intensity threshold, an increase in intensity of a contact from an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press-input intensity threshold, a decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and/or a decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press-input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of a contact below the press-input intensity threshold, the operation is, optionally, performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to, and lower than, the press-input intensity threshold.

[0141] Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces ("UI") and associated processes that are implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100, device 300, or device 500.

[0142] FIGS. 6A-61 illustrate examples of a representation of a card with a layered structure, in accordance with some embodiments. These figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIG. 7.

[0143] FIG. 6A illustrates a layered structure for representation of card 606. In some embodiments, representation of card 606 includes five layers 608a-608e. First layer 608a is a background layer displayed behind the other layers of representation of card 606. In some embodiments, first layer 608a is a single (e.g., uniform) color. In some embodiments, first layer 608a includes a gradient of colors. In some embodiments, first layer 608a includes an image. In some embodiments, first layer 608a is a static layer that does not include visual effects (e.g., motion, movement, animation).

[0144] Second layer 608b is displayed above first layer 608a. As shown in FIG. 6A, second layer 608b is assigned assets 610b (e.g., images of stars). In some embodiments, assets 610b assigned to second layer 608b have visual effects applied to them (e.g., the stars appear to twinkle). In some embodiments, the visual effects applied to assets 610b are different from visual effects applied to assets assigned to other layers.

[0145] Third layer 608c is displayed above first layer 608a and second layer 608b. As shown in FIG. 6A, third layer 608c is assigned asset 610c (e.g., an image of ship). By assigning different assets to each layer, the assets assigned to each layer can be displayed overlapping each other (e.g., the image of the ship assigned to third layer 608c is displayed overlapping the images of stars assigned to second layer 608b). For example, the image of the ship assigned to third layer 608c optionally obstructs display of a portion of the starts assigned to second layer 608b. In some embodiments, asset 610c assigned to third layer 608c has visual effects applied to it (e.g., animation and/or movement, such that the ship bobs up and down). In some embodiments, the visual effects applied to assets 61Oc are different from visual effects applied to assets assigned to other layers.

[0146] Fourth layer 608d is displayed above first, second, and third layers 608a-608c. As shown in FIG. 6A, fourth layer 608d is assigned asset 610d (e.g., an image of cartoon character). In some embodiments, asset 610d assigned to fourth layer 608d has visual effects applied to it (e.g., the cartoon character animates between different poses). In some embodiments, the visual effects applied to asset 61Od are different from visual effects applied to assets assigned to other layers.

[0147] Fifth layer 608e is displayed above first, second, third, and fourth layers 608a-608d. As shown in FIG. 6A, fifth layer 608e is assigned assets 610e (e.g., text describing a service provider associated with representation of card 606 (e.g., "Amusement Park") and an identity associated with representation of card 606 (e.g., "Amy")). In some embodiments, fifth layer 608e is a static layer that does not include visual effects. By displaying assets 610e assigned to fifth layer 608e above the other layers, assets 610e are always visible (not obstructed by any assets of other lower layers) when displaying representation of card 606.

[0148] In some embodiments, a dynamic data structure (e.g., a dynamic JSON object) is used to assign colors, assets, and text to the respective layers. In some embodiments, the dynamic data structure is also used to assign visual effects to assets. For example, the dynamic data structure designates a color to be assigned to first layer 608a, a first image file (e.g., an image of a star) to be assigned to second layer 608b as second assets 610b (e.g., identifying size and/or location of the image of the star), a second image file (e.g., an image of a ship) to be assigned to third layer 608c as third asset 610c, a third image file (e.g., an image of a cartoon character) to be assigned to fourth layer 608d as fourth asset 610d, and text to be assigned to fifth layer 608e as assets 610e. For layers with visual effects, the dynamic data structure also designates the visual effect to be applied to the asset. In this way, the visual features of representation of card 606 can be stored in an easily reconfigurable format for use with different service providers and/or users.

[0149] In some embodiments, the dynamic data structure is a JSON object that includes key value pairs representing attributes of the representation of card 606, and the values associated with those attributes. In some embodiments, the JSON object includes a key for parallax effect with a value that indicates whether a parallax effect is enabled for representation of card 606 (e.g., whether second layer 608b and fourth layer 608d move in opposite directions based on the orientation of device 600). In some embodiments, there is a key-value pair that describes a visual effect (e.g., twinkling) for the assets located in a background parallax layer (e.g., second layer 608b). These assets may have their own visual effect (e.g., twinkling) in addition to movement defined by the parallax effect. In some embodiments, there is a key-value pair that describes a visual effect for assets assigned to a layer in between the parallax layers (e.g., third layer 608c). In some embodiments, there is a key-value pair that describes a visual effect for assets assigned to a foreground parallax layer (e.g., fourth layer 608d). These assets may have their own visual effect in addition to movement defined by the parallax effect. In some embodiments, there is a key-value pair that describes a visual effect for assets located above all other layers (e.g., fifth layer 608e). In some embodiments, there is a key-value pair that describes the visual effect for additional assets that are displayed in response to a successful transaction. Although described as a JSON object with key-value pairs, in other implementations, a card can be represented in other ways with variables and attributes that represent one or more of the characteristics described above.

[0150] FIG. 6B illustrates device 600, which includes display 602 (e.g., a touch screen display). In some embodiments, device 600 is a portable multifunction device, such as a smart phone. In some embodiments, device 600 is a wearable device, such as a smart watch. In FIG. 6B, device 600 displays user interface 604, which includes representation of card 606. In some embodiments, representation of card 606 is a digital pass associated with data that can be transmitted (e.g., to a pass reader terminal) to use or redeem the pass with a service provider (e.g., "Amusement Park"). In some embodiments, representation of card 606 is associated with a financial account (e.g., a bank account, a credit card account, a debit card account, a payment account, and/or a cash account). In some embodiments, the service provider is a business that provides access to a service (e.g., an amusement park, a concert venue, a merchant with memberships). In some embodiments, the service provider is an entity (e.g., a company, a third party) that is different from the entity (e.g., the first party) that developed and/or provides device 600 and/or the operating system being run on device 600. In some embodiments, user interface 604 is a user interface for a vendor application (e.g., a third-party application), a vendor website (e.g., a third-party website), or a wallet application (e.g., a first-party wallet application included with the operating system of device 600). In some embodiments, representation of card 606 is an electronic ticket, a membership card, an access badge, a credit card, a debit card, a store card, and/or another digital representation of a physical card. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6B, representation of card 606 is a digital pass that provides access to a venue called Amusement Park.

[0151] As shown in FIG. 6B, first, second, third, fourth, and fifth layers 608a-608e (as shown in FIG. 6A) are concurrently displayed overlaying one another to create representation of card 606. Assets 610b-610e assigned respectively to layers 608b-608e are at least partially visible while the layers are concurrently displayed. In some embodiments, a background color assigned to first layer 608a is visible behind the other layers. In some embodiments, assets 61Ob 610e assigned respectively to layers 608b-608e can be scaled to different sizes in order to display representation of card 606 on screens of various sizes (e.g., on the screen of wearable device, such as a watch).

[0152] In some embodiments, while representation of card 606 is displayed in user interface 604, visual effects are applied to assets assigned to a subset of the layers. For example, a particle effect is applied to asset 61Ob without applying the particle effect to assets assigned to other layers. In some embodiments, the particle effect includes one or more of (e.g., all of) a behavior component, a density component, and a physics component. The behavior component defines how the asset moves or changes over time. In some embodiments, the behavior component includes twinkling, falling, blooming, rising, and/or shooting (e.g., moving with an arcing path). The density component defines how many copies of the asset appear on the assigned layer. In some embodiments, the density component also defines the sizes of the assets (e.g., smaller assets are used with higher densities so more copies of the asset will fit on the assigned layer). The physics component defines simulated forces that influence the movement of the assets. For example, a simulated wind force may cause the assets to move in more turbulent manner (e.g., when combined with the falling behavior). In some embodiments, each of the components of a visual effect is designated in the dynamic data structure. The dynamic data structure allows the components of a visual effect, and thus the visual appearance of representation of card 606, to be easily modified.

[0153] FIG. 6C illustrates device 600 displaying a parallax effect. The parallax effect is applied to asset 610b assigned to second layer 608b (e.g., images of stars) and asset 610d assigned to fourth layer 608d (e.g., an image of a cartoon character). The parallax effect is optionally not applied to other layers of representation of card 606. When device 600 is tilted into a first orientation relative to a reference point (e.g., the device is angled to the right relative to a user viewing display 602), asset 610b moves to the right and asset 610d moves to the left, as shown in the left drawing of FIG. 6C. When device 600 is tilted into a second orientation relative to the reference point (e.g., the device is angled to the left relative to the user viewing display 602), asset 61b moves to the left and asset 61Od moves to the right, as shown in the right drawing of FIG. 6C. Assets 610c and 610e remain stationary as device 600 changes orientation. By moving assets in opposite directions based on the orientation of device 600 relative to a reference point, a parallax effect is applied to representation of card 606 which gives representation of card 606 the appearance of enhanced depth (or three-dimensions). The parallax effect also provides the user with visual feedback that the representation of card 606 is not a static object, thereby indicating to the user that representation of card 606 corresponds to an account.

[0154] In some embodiments, the parallax effect is applied to an asset in conjunction with another visual effect. For example, both the parallax effect and a particle effect are (e.g., concurrently) applied to assets 61Ob.

[0155] FIG. 6D illustrates a modification to the visual effect applied to assets 610b. As shown in FIG. 6D, the particle effect being applied to assets 610b has been modified to cause a higher density of assets 610b to be displayed, which also decreases the size of assets 610b (e.g., the images of stars are smaller, and there are more stars displayed). In some embodiments, the visual effect is modified by changing a component of the visual effect in the dynamic data structure. For example, the density component of the particle effect is changed to a high density. Thus, configuration of representation of card 606 enables various density levels of assets and/or effects.

[0156] FIG. 6E illustrates a modification to the asset assigned to a layer. As shown in FIG. 6E, asset 610b assigned to second layer 608b (e.g., as shown in FIG. 6D) is changed to a different asset 610g (e.g., the images of stars are changed to images of flowers). In some embodiments, asset 610b is changed to asset 610g by changing the image file designated in the dynamic data structure for second layer 608b (e.g., the dynamic data structure is updated to reference a new image file to be assigned to second layer 608b).

[0157] FIG. 6F illustrates an additional sixth layer 608f added to the layered structure of representation of card 606. Sixth layer 608f is added in response to detecting data associated with representation of card 606 being used in a transaction (e.g., when device 600 is held in proximity to a pass reader terminal). Sixth layer 608f is displayed above first, second, third, fourth, and fifth layers 608a-608e. As shown in FIG. 6F, sixth layer 608f is assigned assets 610f (e.g., images of stars arranged in a heart shape). In some embodiments, an additional visual effect is applied to assets 61Of (as described with respect to FIGS. 6G-61) in response to detecting the transaction (e.g., in response to transmitting credentials for use in a transaction and/or in response to completing the transaction), without applying the additional effect to assets assigned to other layers. In some embodiments, the dynamic data structure is used to designate the asset and/or visual effect to be added in sixth layer 608f when the transaction is detected.

[0158] FIG. 6G illustrates device 600 being held in proximity to pass reader terminal 614. In FIG. 6G, device 600 detects that data (e.g., credentials of an account) associated with representation of card 606 was provided by device 600 to pass reader terminal 614 and/or that data (e.g., credentials of an account) associated with representation of card 606 was accepted by pass reader terminal 614 (e.g., indicating a successful transaction). In some embodiments, the data associated with representation of card 606 is provided by device 600 via a signal from an NFC transceiver and/or an optical scan. In some embodiments, a communication (e.g., a confirmation message from a remote server) received by device 600 indicates that a visual element corresponding to representation of card 606, such as a barcode or QR code, has been optically scanned (and, optionally, accepted by a successful transaction). In some embodiments, device 600 provides the data associated with representation of card 606 to pass reader terminal 614 in response to receiving (e.g., detecting) a user input at device 600 (e.g., authorization; contact on display 602, motion of device 600, rotation of a rotatable input device, biometric information or authentication (e.g., fingerprint data, facial data, and/or iris data), and/or a press of a hardware button on device 600).

[0159] After (e.g., in response to) detecting that data associated with representation of card 606 was provided by device 600 to pass reader terminal 614 and/or that data (e.g., credentials of an account) associated with representation of card 606 was accepted by pass reader terminal 614 (e.g., indicating a successful transaction), device 600 displays representation of card 606 with assets 61Of assigned to additional sixth layer 608f (as shown in FIG. 6F) concurrently displayed above the assets assigned to other layers. The display of assets 610f provides an indication that data associated with representation of card 606 was provided by device 600 to pass reader terminal 614 and/or that data associated with representation of card 606 was accepted by pass reader terminal 614. In some embodiments, when assets 610f assigned to additional sixth layer

608f are displayed (e.g., in response to detecting the transaction), other layers (and their assigned assets) are darkened (or otherwise de-emphasized), as shown in FIG. 6G.

[0160] In some embodiments, an additional confirmation icon 616 (e.g., a checkmark icon) is also displayed in user interface 604 to indicate that data associated with representation of card 606 was provided by device 600 to pass reader terminal 614 and/or that data associated with representation of card 606 was accepted by pass reader terminal 614. In some embodiments, after (e.g., in response to) detecting that data associated with representation of card 606 was provided by device 600 to pass reader terminal 614 and/or that data associated with representation of card 606 was accepted by pass reader terminal 614, device 600 provides a tactile and/or audible output, as indicated by the wavy lines around the corners of device 600 in FIG. 6G.

[0161] In some embodiments, a visual effect is applied to assets 61Of in response to detecting the transaction. In some embodiments, the visual effect applied to assets 61Of is a path effect. The path effect designates one or more predefined paths for assets 610f to move along over time. For example, as shown in FIGs. 6G-61, the predefined paths cause the assets of 61Of to move away from one another to create a zoom effect of the heart that is formed by assets 61Of. In some embodiments, the path effect also defines the sizes of the assets over time (e.g., the assets of assets 610f become larger as they move along the predefined path to enhance the zoom effect). In some embodiments, the path effect is designated in the dynamic data structure. The dynamic data structure allows for easy modification of the visual effects applied to assets when a transaction is detected.

[0162] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGs. 6G-61, during the path effect applied to assets 61Of, the other layers of representation of card 606 (and their assigned assets) are transitioned from a darkened state to their original brightness. This provides an additional indication that the transaction was detected by device 600. By providing the user with various types of visual feedback before the transaction is detected (e.g., by applying the parallax effect as device 600 detects, via one or more motion sensors, that the orientation of device 600 has changed) and after (e.g., in response to) the transaction being detected (e.g., by transmitting credentials and/or completing a transaction), device 600 provides the user with indications that the representation of card 606 is associated with a valid account and that the transaction has been detected (e.g., securely performed).

[0163] FIG. 7 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for displaying a representation of a card using a computer system in accordance with some embodiments. Method 700 is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, and/or 600) with a display generation component. Some operations in method 700 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

[0164] As described below, method 700 provides an intuitive way for displaying a representation of a card. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for recognizing the representation of the card and verifying the representation of the card is authentic, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to recognize a representation of a card faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

[0165] In method 700, the computer system (e.g., 600) (e.g., a smart device, such as a smartphone or a smartwatch; a mobile device) displays (702), via the display generation component (e.g., 602), a user interface (e.g., 604) (e.g., for a wallet application) that includes a representation of a card (e.g., 606) (e.g., a payment card, an access pass), where the representation of the card comprises a plurality of layers (e.g., 608a-608e) that are concurrently displayed. The plurality of layers include (704) a first layer (e.g., 608b) with a first visual asset (e.g., 610b) (e.g., an image used on the first layer; stars) and (706) a second layer (e.g., 608d) with a second visual asset (e.g., 610d) (e.g., an image used on the second layer; a cartoon character).

[0166] The computer system applies (708) a first set of visual effects (e.g., instructions that define the behavior of an asset; twinkling stars) to the first visual asset (e.g., 610b) without applying the first set of visual effects to the second visual asset (e.g., 610d).

[0167] The computer system applies (710) a second set of visual effects (e.g., instructions that define the behavior of an asset; parallax movement), different from the first set of visual effects, to the second visual asset (e.g., 610d).

[0168] Applying different sets of visual effects to different assets provides visual feedback to the user that the representation of the card is authentic (e.g., a representation of a card without the visual effects may indicate the card is fraudulent). Applying different sets of visual effects to different assets also enhances security by making the representation of the card difficult to copy. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and enhancing security enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0169] In some embodiments, a dynamic data structure (e.g., a dynamic JSON object) specifies that the first visual asset is assigned to the first layer and the second visual asset is assigned to the second layer. Using a dynamic data structure to specify which layers visual assets are assigned to provides additional control to a user over the appearance of the representation of the card. Providing additional control of the computer system to the user enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0170] In some embodiments, the dynamic data structure specifies that the first set of visual effects is assigned to the first layer and the second set of visual effects is assigned to the second layer. Using a dynamic data structure to specify which layers sets of visual effects are assigned to provides additional control to a user over the appearance of the representation of the card. Providing additional control of the computer system to the user enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0171] In some embodiments, the dynamic data structure is a JSON object that includes key value pairs representing attributes of the representation of the card (e.g., 606) and the values associated with those attributes. In some embodiments, the JSON object includes a key for parallax effect with a value that indicates whether a parallax effect is enabled for the representation of the card (e.g., whether second layer 608b and fourth layer 608d move in opposite directions based on the orientation of the device 600). In some embodiments, there is a key-value pair that describes a visual effect (e.g., twinkling) for the assets located in a background parallax layer (e.g., second layer 608b). These assets may have their own visual effect (e.g., twinkling) in addition to movement defined by the parallax effect. In some embodiments, there is a key-value pair that describes a visual effect for assets assigned to a layer in between the parallax layers (e.g., third layer 608c). In some embodiments, there is a key-value pair that describes a visual effect for assets assigned to a foreground parallax layer (e.g., fourth layer 608d). These assets may have their own visual effect in addition to movement defined by the parallax effect. In some embodiments, there is a key-value pair that describes a visual effect for assets located above all others layers (e.g., fifth layer 608e). In some embodiments, there is a key-value pair that describes the visual effect for additional assets that are displayed in response to a successful transaction. Although described as a JSON object with key-value pairs, in other implementations, a card can be represented in other ways with variables and attributes that represent one or more of the characteristics described above.

[0172] In some embodiments, the second set of visual effects (e.g., parallax movement) is applied to the first visual asset (e.g., 610b). Applying different sets of visual effects to different assets provides visual feedback to the user that the representation of the card is authentic (e.g., a representation of a card without the visual effects may indicate the card is fraudulent). Applying different sets of visual effects to different assets also enhances security by making the representation of the card difficult to copy. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and enhancing security enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0173] In some embodiments, the second set of visual effects is a subset of the first set of visual effects (e.g., both the first and second sets of visual effects are applied to the first asset

(e.g., 610b)). Applying different sets of visual effects to different assets provides visual feedback to the user that the representation of the card is authentic (e.g., a representation of a card without the visual effects may indicate the card is fraudulent). Applying different sets of visual effects to different assets also enhances security by making the representation of the card difficult to copy. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and enhancing security enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0174] In some embodiments, the first set of visual effects include a particle effect that specifies animated visual characteristics of a visual asset. Applying a particle effect to specific assets provides visual feedback to the user that the representation of the card is authentic (e.g., a representation of a card without the particle effect may indicate the card is fraudulent). Applying a particle effect to specific assets also enhances security by making the representation of the card difficult to copy. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and enhancing security enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0175] In some embodiments, the particle effect includes at least one of a behavior component (e.g., style of movement for an asset - twinkling, falling, blooming, rising, and/or shooting (e.g., moving with an arcing path)), a density component (e.g., how many copies of an asset appear as part of the assigned layer. In some embodiments, the density component also defines the sizes of the assets (e.g., smaller assets are used with higher densities so more copies of the asset will fit on the assigned layer)), or a physics component (e.g., simulated forces that influence the movement of the assets (e.g., wind)). Applying a particle effect with behavior, density, and/or physics components to specific assets provides visual feedback to the user that the representation of the card is authentic (e.g., a representation of a card without the particle effect may indicate the card is fraudulent). Applying a particle effect with behavior, density, and/or physics components to specific assets also enhances security by making the representation of the card difficult to copy. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and enhancing security enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0176] In some embodiments, the second set of visual effects include a parallax effect (e.g., as shown in FIG. 6C), and the computer system applies the parallax effect to visual assets assigned to a subset of the plurality of layers (e.g., parallax is applied to assets assigned to second layer 608b and fourth layer 608d). Applying a parallax effect to specific assets provides visual feedback to the user that the representation of the card is authentic (e.g., a representation of a card without the parallax effect may indicate the card is fraudulent). Applying a parallax effect to specific assets also enhances security by making the representation of the card difficult to copy. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and enhancing security enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0177] In some embodiments, the visual assets assigned to the subset of the plurality of layers include at least the second visual asset (e.g., 610b). In some embodiments, applying the parallax effect includes, while displaying the representation of the card (e.g., 606), detecting a change in orientation of the display generation component (e.g., 602). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the change in orientation is to a first orientation, the computer system moves the second visual asset (e.g., 610b) in a first direction and moves at least one visual asset different from the second visual asset (e.g., 610d) in a second direction opposite to the first direction (e.g., as shown on the left side of FIG. 6C). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the change in orientation is to a second orientation, the computer system moves the second visual asset (e.g., 610b) in the second direction and moves at least one visual asset different from the second visual asset (e.g., 610d) in the first direction opposite to the second direction (e.g., as shown on the left side of FIG. 6D). Moving specific assets in opposite directions with a parallax effect provides visual feedback to the user that the representation of the card is authentic (e.g., a representation of a card without the parallax effect may indicate the card is fraudulent). Moving specific assets in opposite directions with a parallax effect also enhances security by making the representation of the card difficult to copy. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and enhancing security enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0178] In some embodiments, at least one layer of the plurality of layers (e.g., 608e) (e.g., a top layer) includes at least one visual asset (e.g., 610e) (e.g., a company logo and/or name of a user). In some embodiments, the at least one layer is displayed without visual effects being applied to visual assets assigned to the at least one layer (e.g., no animations, movements, and/or other visual effects are applied to the assets on the at least one layer; visual assets on the at least one layer are statically displayed above assets of other layers). Not applying visual effects to at least one layer provides visual feedback to the user that the representation of the card is authentic. Not applying visual effects to at least one layer also improves the legibility of text or other visual assets included on the at least layer, which enhances the user experience when viewing the representation of the card. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0179] In some embodiments, the computer system detects (712) that data associated with the representation of the card (e.g., 606) has been used to complete a transaction (e.g., device 600 is held in proximity to pass reader 614, and data has been successfully transferred and verified for the transaction). In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the data associated with the representation of the card has been used to complete the transaction, the computer system displays (714) the representation of the card with an additional layer (e.g., 608f), where the additional layer is assigned an additional visual asset (e.g., 610f) (e.g., one or more images arranged in a shape (e.g., a smiley face; a heart)). In some embodiments, a request to display the representation of the card is received. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the request to display the representation of the card corresponds to a completion of a transaction, the computer system displays the representation of the card with the additional layer. In some embodiments, in accordance a determination that the request to display the representation of the card does not correspond to a completion of a transaction, the computer system displays the representation of the card without the additional layer. Displaying an additional layer with an additional visual asset in response to completing a transaction provides visual feedback to the user confirming that the data corresponding to the card was successfully provided (e.g., successfully transmitted to the pass reader). Providing improved visual feedback enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0180] In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the data associated with the representation of the card (e.g., 606) has been used to complete the transaction, the computer system applies a third set of visual effects (e.g., an animated zoom effect) to the additional visual asset (e.g., 610f), without applying the third set of visual effects to the first and second visual assets (e.g., 610b and 610d). In some embodiments, a request to display the representation of the card is received. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the request to display the representation of the card corresponds to a completion of a transaction, the computer system displays the representation of the card with the additional layer and applying the third set of visual effects to the additional asset. In some embodiments, in accordance a determination that the request to display the representation of the card does not correspond to a completion of a transaction, the computer system displays the representation of the card without the additional layer and/or applying the third set of visual effects to the additional asset. Applying a third set of visual effects to an additional asset in response to completing a transaction provides visual feedback to the user confirming that the data corresponding to the card was successfully provided (e.g., successfully transmitted to the pass reader). Providing improved visual feedback enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0181] In some embodiments, the third set of visual effects include a path effect that designates a predefined path for the additional visual asset (e.g., 610f) to move along over time. Applying a path effect to an additional asset in response to completing a transaction provides visual feedback to the user confirming that the data corresponding to the card was successfully provided (e.g., successfully transmitted to the pass reader terminal). Providing improved visual feedback enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0182] In some embodiments, the predefined path for the additional visual asset (e.g., 610f) is a path that creates a zoom effect (e.g., the additional asset moves away from other assets and/or the additional asset is enlarged as the asset moves along the path over time). Applying a zoom effect to an additional asset in response to completing a transaction provides visual feedback to the user confirming that the data corresponding to the card was successfully provided (e.g., successfully transmitted to the pass reader terminal). Providing improved visual feedback enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0183] In some embodiments, a dynamic data structure (e.g., a dynamic JSON object) specifies that the predefined path is assigned to the additional visual asset (e.g., 610f). Using a dynamic data structure to specify that a predefined path is assigned to an additional asset provides additional control to a user over the appearance of the representation of the card. Providing additional control of the computer system to the user enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0184] In some embodiments, the additional layer (e.g., 608f) is displayed above the plurality of layers (e.g., assets on the additional layer at least partially block the display of assets on a lower layer that are displayed at the same location on the display). Displaying an additional layer above other layers in response to completing a transaction provides visual feedback to the user confirming that the data corresponding to the card was successfully provided (e.g., successfully transmitted to the pass reader terminal). Providing improved visual feedback enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0185] In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the data associated with the representation of the card (e.g., 606) has been used to complete the transaction, the computer system displays visual assets (e.g., 610b-610e) assigned to each layer of the plurality of layers (e.g., 608a-608e) in a darkened state. In some embodiments, the assets assigned to the plurality of layers transition from the darkened state to their original brightness over time. Displaying assets in a darkened state in response to completing a transaction provides visual feedback to the user confirming that the data corresponding to the card was successfully provided (e.g., successfully transmitted to the pass reader terminal). Providing improved visual feedback enhances the operability of the computer system and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the computer system more quickly and efficiently.

[0186] In some embodiments, the computer system receives a request to display a visual asset, and a characteristic (e.g., size and/or resolution) of the display generation component is determined. In some embodiments, in accordance with the characteristic being a first characteristic (e.g., a first display size and/or a first resolution; a smartphone display), the computer system displays the visual asset at a first size. In some embodiments, in accordance with the characteristic being a second characteristic (e.g., a second display size and/or a second resolution; a watch display) different from the first characteristic, the computer system displays the visual asset at a second size different from the first size (e.g., the assets are scaled based on the size of the display).

[0187] The foregoing description, for purpose of explanation, has been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, the illustrative discussions above are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in view of the above teachings. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the techniques and their practical applications. Others skilled in the art are thereby enabled to best utilize the techniques and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.

[0188] Although the disclosure and examples have been fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be noted that various changes and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications are to be understood as being included within the scope of the disclosure and examples as defined by the claims.

[0189] As described above, one aspect of the present technology is the gathering and use of data available from various sources to display a representation of a card and use data associated with card for a transaction. The present disclosure contemplates that in some instances, this gathered data may include personal information data that uniquely identifies or can be used to contact or locate a specific person. Such personal information data can include demographic data, location-based data, telephone numbers, email addresses, twitter IDs, home addresses, data or records relating to a user's health or level of fitness (e.g., vital signs measurements, medication information, exercise information), date of birth, or any other identifying or personal information.

[0190] The present disclosure recognizes that the use of such personal information data, in the present technology, can be used to the benefit of users. For example, the personal information data can be used to display a customized representation of the card. Further, other uses for personal information data that benefit the user are also contemplated by the present disclosure. For instance, health and fitness data may be used to provide insights into a user's general wellness, or may be used as positive feedback to individuals using technology to pursue wellness goals.

[0191] The present disclosure contemplates that the entities responsible for the collection, analysis, disclosure, transfer, storage, or other use of such personal information data will comply with well-established privacy policies and/or privacy practices. In particular, such entities should implement and consistently use privacy policies and practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding industry or governmental requirements for maintaining personal information data private and secure. Such policies should be easily accessible by users, and should be updated as the collection and/or use of data changes. Personal information from users should be collected for legitimate and reasonable uses of the entity and not shared or sold outside of those legitimate uses. Further, such collection/sharing should occur after receiving the informed consent of the users. Additionally, such entities should consider taking any needed steps for safeguarding and securing access to such personal information data and ensuring that others with access to the personal information data adhere to their privacy policies and procedures. Further, such entities can subject themselves to evaluation by third parties to certify their adherence to widely accepted privacy policies and practices. In addition, policies and practices should be adapted for the particular types of personal information data being collected and/or accessed and adapted to applicable laws and standards, including jurisdiction-specific considerations. For instance, in the US, collection of or access to certain health data may be governed by federal and/or state laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); whereas health data in other countries may be subject to other regulations and policies and should be handled accordingly. Hence different privacy practices should be maintained for different personal data types in each country.

[0192] Despite the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates embodiments in which users selectively block the use of, or access to, personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates that hardware and/or software elements can be provided to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, in the case of displaying a representation of a card, the present technology can be configured to allow users to select to "opt in" or "opt out" of participation in the collection of personal information data during registration for services or anytime thereafter. In addition to providing "opt in" and "opt out" options, the present disclosure contemplates providing notifications relating to the access or use of personal information. For instance, a user may be notified upon downloading an app that their personal information data will be accessed and then reminded again just before personal information data is accessed by the app.

[0193] Moreover, it is the intent of the present disclosure that personal information data should be managed and handled in a way to minimize risks of unintentional or unauthorized access or use. Risk can be minimized by limiting the collection of data and deleting data once it is no longer needed. In addition, and when applicable, including in certain health related applications, data de-identification can be used to protect a user's privacy. De-identification may be facilitated, when appropriate, by removing specific identifiers (e.g., date of birth, etc.), controlling the amount or specificity of data stored (e.g., collecting location data a city level rather than at an address level), controlling how data is stored (e.g., aggregating data across users), and/or other methods.

[0194] Therefore, although the present disclosure broadly covers use of personal information data to implement one or more various disclosed embodiments, the present disclosure also contemplates that the various embodiments can also be implemented without the need for accessing such personal information data. That is, the various embodiments of the present technology are not rendered inoperable due to the lack of all or a portion of such personal information data. For example, the representation of the card can be displayed based on non personal information data or a bare minimum amount of personal information, such as the content being requested by the device associated with a user, other non-personal information available to the service provider, or publicly available information.
